The New York City Blender User's Group
is holding a meeting at NYU Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, on Saturday June 27th at 2 pm
in Roger's Hall. (Just go there and look for the signs for which room)

Directions

The format of the meeting will be 1 hour of short presentations for anyone who is interested
in speaking, followed by an informal work meeting/study hall.

I plan to give a short update on the work I've been doing on the Blender Game Engine and
Pure Data http://www.puredata.org in support of free improv art/music.
See here for more information.

Blender http://www.blender.org is a free open source 3D content
creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the
GNU General Public License. It compares well to software like Maya or
3D Studio Max.

If you want to see what Blender is capable of, see:

Elephant's Dream
Big Buck Bunny
Yo Frankie!

These projects were all supported by the Blender Foundation,
and you can download all the .blend files for these projects at
the sites shown above. Yo Frankie! is particularly interesting
in that it represents lots of recent improvements to the Blender Game
Engine, enabling more advanced real time support.

Hope to see you there!
